Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Hearing or feeling vibrations in your house can be unsettling, but there are a few possible causes for a vibrating noise in your wall or floor. Light bulbs and fixtures, circuit breakers, loose pipes, or faulty wiring could all cause vibrations. If you’re not sure what’s causing the vibrations, you can call a contractor to assess your home and narrow down the cause.

The total time for an earthquake retrofit project varies based on its size and scope. The entire process, from the initial evaluation and planning to the final inspection, typically takes between two weeks and two months. This comprehensive timeline includes bidding, contract paperwork, the permitting and approval process, the actual retrofitting work, and the final inspection.

The physical installation work itself is often quicker, with most jobs taking one week to 10 business days. However, the project may take longer if it requires more extensive work or if the home has structural damage from a previous earthquake. A professional retrofitting expert can provide a more accurate timeline for your specific project after an initial consultation and can also estimate how long the permitting process will take in your area.

Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.

Many homeowners want to know whether earthquake retrofitting is tax deductible. Because it’s often considered a capital improvement, you usually can’t deduct it. In some cases and locations, you may qualify for tax incentives, but you’ll need to talk to a tax professional or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about your specific circumstances. You may also be able to find grant money for seismic upgrades, which can lower the cost of your insurance premiums and save money over time.

Ensure proper ventilation, fix leaks, and schedule regular pest inspections to protect your property.
